Ah that is to bad about joe, that would have been cool. Well the Cromwells could probably still do ok.

At least they finally added Hell's Highway to Easy Army. I don't think you should write off using those books because of it thou, I redid my old Sturm Kompanie list with the new points and was able to get an extra platoon, plus there is the changes to mortars and the heavy breakthrough gun thing.

I can't imagine that you need that many tigers for the bake list, I guess 2 or 3 +1 extra panther is like 1 day of painting. Another list I think would be fun is taking 5 IS 2s (I think it is 5 that comes out to ~1500).

That is true about Bake -- Two Panthers in the HQ + 1 Platoon w/3 Panthers and 1 Platoon w/ 2 Tigers is 1370 points which would only be one Panther to paint (whether it is a balanced list or not is another question but it could certainly deal with Tanks!)

The only other lists I can see that can take Jagdpanthers are the 2 in Fallschirmjäger lists in Hell's Highway, the 326th Grenadier Company & a bunch of the SS companies in earth and steel.

This is what I end up with using the StuG Batterie list. The anti-aircraft is the only cheap platoon I could find to make the points work out nice. Seems alright but I don't see how I would fight tankovy with this. You can upgrade 1 tank per platoon to a StuH 42 which has AT 10 FP2+ and breakthrough gun for free so I would likely do that also.
